How much do techies make? (II)

According to industry recruiters, estimations on technology engineers’ salaries are purely informative, because the difference between small companies and corporations lies in the complexity of the projects techies are being assigned, and hence, the pay structure is commission-based, instead of fixed payment, but it also arises from the place of residence. But even these bonuses lose their glamour in a cash-strapped information technology company.

“As all the recent studies revealed, the merit pay packages offers to tech employees shrank among the majority of the companies. However, organizations tend to keep those benefits – such as medical services”, Sutac added.
